Legacy is a nice and decently maintained course, but the rangers are some of the rudest and most crotchety people I’ve come across in a customer service position. Nasty for the sake of it. Pro shop, bar and front desk staff are great and courteous. The rangers, however, could use an update. They follow and watch you like hawks for the first few holes and really set the round off in a poor manner. It’s as if they don’t feel like they’re doing their jobs unless they find a reason to harass and hound you. Hopefully new staff out there in the spring.

Had a great experience at Sweetbriar the two times I have played here. The course has a nice mixture of holes and was surprisingly well kept as far as the condition of the airways and greens go. The clubhouse is expansive and has great tasting food with prompt service.

Played 18 holes at Sweetbriar Golf this morning; our foursome completed in 4 hours, 20 minutes. Literally harassed three (3!) times by the rangers to pick up the pace of play. You read that right - we played 18 holes in 4 hours, 20 minutes, and got continually harassed for pace of play. We will never be back.We had a three-some behind us, I dont know if they complained or what. But they were never waiting for us. I suspect that when the rangers looked around the course, they saw nobody in front of us, with presumably a steady stream behind us, and so they ASSUMED we were holding everyone up. Our 6:40 am tee time went off behind a two-some, of course they finished early. Nobody was ahead of us when we teed off the back nine.Paid $60.00 each and could not enjoy a round of golf thanks to the harassing rangers. 4 hours, 20 minutes for 18 holes and harassed the whole way - pathetic.

Sweetbriar course was in terrible shape and very neglected. Hard to tell difference between fairway, rough, and cart path. Legacy looked nice, but Sweetbriar’s course was very disappointing - definitely went downhill over last couple years

Little wet but for first time out this year couldnt be happier with the weather today. Heavy rain last night so fairly wet but still very playable, and fun to be on.

Absolutely by far the worst course i have ever played in the cleveland area. its crazy that Sweetbriar is on the same land as Legacy golf course (Which looked exceptionally well maintained)Course scorched, cant tell rough from fairway. ive never written a review about anywhere in my life but was encouraged to by how awful my experience was

Sweetbriar course should come with a warning sign. It is getting worse every year - feels neglected.Legacy on tbe orher hand is a really nice public course in west side.The good - tees can an be played at good lengths depending on your skill. Fairways well maintained. Greens are great. Course is a esthetically pleasing.The bad - some of their starters shall we say....are rude. The play is super slow on most days. I have no issue with walk up tee times but if bob o link and other lesser courses can stagger tee times to 10 minutes, why cant Legacy? You need those extra 2 .minites to relieve some of the slow play bottleneck .

Wonderful Easter Brunch. Has a variety of food to choose from. Great dessert table and extremely friendly staff. Great place

The Legacy course is a very playable course with very generous fairways and greens that are not tricked out. Even on this wet day they were fast. The rough is even playable. You can play this course and not lose any balls as everything is cut. Very scenic and the houses are well back from the playing area. I deducted one star ad they need work on the cart path. Too many chuckholes and other areas that need repairs.

W3ll manicured..friendly staff..low green fees.

I’ve golfed here for years and have watched it sink from “nice” to “mediocre” to”unplayable”. The fairways are completely burned out, with no grass to speak of. The areas around the greens are 30% grass, 40% weeds, and 30% dead spots. It appears that they have given up on maintains this course to drive golfers to the more expensive Legacy course that adjoins it. Don’t golf here!

The course is in horrible shape. The greens are terrible; the fairways are burned out and full of weeds. Save your money and don’t go there. This is one of the worst courses I’ve ever played in North East Ohio.

The sweetbtiar 18 is in rough shape. Everything is dried out. Legacy cafe was great though.

Great course. Very family friendly, good for all different levels of golfers in our family

Prune the trees! But I had fun.

An outdoor eating experience with pleasant friendly staff and a beautiful view kudos

Worst course in the world, hard to tell between the nasty bumpy cart paths and the so called fairway. Total waste of money.

Played Sweetbriar over the weekend with a buddy. Tee time was early afternoon. Pace of play was great. Staff was friendly. Clubhouse and restaurant were fantastic with a great atmosphere. As for the course, on many holes it was difficult to tell the difference between the rough and fairway. There was really no noticeable difference in cut length. Greens were good however. I imagine that they spend more time with the Legacy course which is to be accepted. Overall Sweetbriar is a great course to get a quick round in and will definitely be back to play both 18s.

Kevin and the guys inside have always been awesome to me ever since I started playing there as a teenager. The customer service has been great. The pro shop also has an amazing Labor Day sale every year that I highly recommend to all golfers in the area. It is not the cheapest golf course in the area, but definitely one of the better ones.

Good food. Nice patio.

Sweetbriar is one of my top 2 favorite courses that Ive played so far. It is slightly challenging because of the ponds and creeks you have to hit over but this course isnt just for great golfers. The clubhouse and dining facilities are beautiful and overlooks both the Sweetbriar and Legacy course. The Pro Shop has an immense selection from clothing to clubs to gear. As far as the standard prices go Im not certain because while I shopped there they had their annual Labor Day sale which I ended up buying 2 dozen Srixon balls for just $30!

Attended a party last night and it was the greatest.The staff was very friendly and attentive even though they had some problems with the POS.

Had sirloin burger,very tasty. Beef soup very meaty. Service very efficient.

Been to two events here and amazing service at each one. Food is amazing

Great Food, Enjoyable and BEAUTIFUL, friendly atmosphere. I really LOVE this place. My only issue is, WHERE IS THE MUSIC, on that gorgeous back patio and fun bar area?!! In the summers of 2017 and 2018, they brought in small groups of musicians, and the patio was packed. Everyone LOVED and enjoyed the music. We heard the owner doesnt want to pay the royalty fees for music. I say, PLEASE, PLEASE re-think this decision and PLEASE bring back entertainment on that gorgeous back patio next summer!! I would be willing to pay a cover charge, just to have this wonderful aspect again. We went up every Friday and Saturday night when they had the music. Sadly, we are lucky if we go up a couple of times a month.

I golfed the sweetbriar side and the course is challenging but it needs more maintenance. The fairways are covered in various weeds and clover so there wasnt much difference from the rough. I wont be playing it again until there is some upkeep done...I will however play the Legacy side. That is a great course that is taken care of and worth the money. It can get a bit crowded but it is worth the wait. The restaurant and clubhouse are nice and have plenty to choose from. I will certainly play this side again.

Played legacy paid $39. horrible course. maintenance was so bad, green were so slow and so uneven (they said they did aerification 2 weeks ago). 2 weeks? what have they done ? Dead grass on almost every green. so does on fairways. Boulder Creeks, Fowlers mill, Pine Hills, Shale Creek are all cheaper than this horrible course. I played almost every courses in NE Ohio, this was second to last on maintenance wise (the last was Seneca 3 years ago before they re designed the course). I was so angry I waste my time there.

Legacy course is a beautiful course. Some of the best rolling greens in ne ohio. Bunkers well maintained, fairways very nice, tee boxes are in great condition. Highly recommend this course

This clubhouse is better than many country club clubhouses that i have been to. They did it right when they added their signature legacy course. Not real sure how the pro shop is but if the clubhouse is any indication i am sure the pro shop is A+!

Course is in rough shape

Love this place!! Easy parking, excellent dining area, pleasant service. Great views of golf course. Pricing for everything is quite affordable. Plan to get there soon and more often.

Me and my girl went yesterday for our 3rd time. We have enjoyed the course and the people that work there everytime. So friendly. Will be back soon!!

I have never been here by the Google Maps keeps putting it on saying Ive been there. Looks like a nice place when I drive by it. But again Google Maps and assist I have been here, I have not.

Price is the best around. Staff in house is awesome. However they should expect people to play slower when you can not drive the golf carts on the grass that adds time to your game per hole. It is not proper to tell golfers to play faster with the mud and water condition all over. I would suggest that on these kind of days where it is cart path only to space people out better.

The Legacy layout is Great... also the food is Spectacular... Great Proshop and Chris Ann is the Best.

On a beautiful and scenic golf course is this totally charming restaurant. With its winding drive and large, welcoming entrance, and what you might expect to find when you enter is even better than what you thought. A number of dining rooms, a dazzling vaulted ceiling, an expansive bar, and a curved wall of windows overlooking the greens. Afternoons are mainly for lunches of various salads, appetizers, hearty sandwiches and some entrees as well.Their dinner menu favors a greater selection of the entrees and all the sides, salads and apps that will appeal to just about every palate. In a nutshell, the food is really, really good; and for you coffee lovers, youre in for a nice surprise of a delicious cup of coffee too. Selections are plentiful, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the views are beautiful, but most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. If you havent already been here then you simply must give it a try. Its one of the special treasures on the west side of town.

The greens & fairways where airrated & it was cart path only for $42, price was atleast $10 to much..Course is nice, but not that nice..Not worth $42...

Worse golf course I ever played. No maintenance of fairways or trees. Horrible golfing experience.

Wonderful Golf Field. My husband loves it!

Nice course at reasonable price

This combination of two 18 hole golf courses is pretty great for the Lorain area. I recommend that you use their tee times on the website, as youll be saving 25-50%. I prefer the secondary course Sweetbriar because it has what I expect from a course as far as challenges, diversity and scenery. The Legacy course plays a little more difficult and its fitted into a neighborhood, with upper middle class houses all around. Both courses are beautiful. The driving range only let us play off of a fake grass mat and we couldnt make any divots.

Generally in very good shape and awesome to have these two courses available locally

Was The Legacy Restaurant Not the Sweetbriar Golf Club!!!As always excellent drinks, food and service. Our server: Caitlin was terrific. If shes not there ask for Alexandria (Alex). Both are wonderful.

Well stocked with all your golf needs

Legacy golf course is in very good shape.

Excellent.

Very nice place. Staff are very professional and courteous.

Course is nice, pace of play is not. The starters are sexist and rude towards women, lady golfers beware. Foursomes do not let twosomes play through and the clientele is quite rude and chauvinistic. Many players hit from the black tees as if they are pro golfers, barely making it past the womens tees. Starters do nothing to fix it, but wave hands in female faces. Good luck playing this course if you are a good golfer looking for a quick round without egotistical people.

Fun golfing experience. Played here for over 20 years.

Conditions of the course very nice

Very enjoyable. SB course in good shape. Ate dinner. Very good taste, price and service.

Great time playing the Legacy Course at Sweetbriar! We found a great deal on Golfnow for a 6:40 tee time so we were the first ones out. The starter was very gracious in getting us started and out on the box immediately. This course rivals any country club in the area with tight, super thin cut fairways. Since it was so early (and a nice storm rolled through the night before) we didnt get much roll on good drives. The rough was lush but fair so stay clear if you wanna score well. The layout takes you through a scenic development so walking this course would be exhausting. The holes are guarded with mounding and a few bunkers, not much water around the greens except on #7 and par 5 # 14. I would highly recommend this course. I didnt get a chance to use the driving range but its right near the clubhouse so you could get a small bucket in before the round no problem.

Fairways were really dried out not as lushs I would like them

Average selection of golf merchandise. Over priced.

Great service, fast, friendly staff. Food is outstanding, views are beautiful while dinning.

Very nice course and well maintained, would look forward to return and play it again.

Pretty nice course. Not as good as legacy, but adequate. Could be a bit more competitive on pricing. If I recall, mostly dry course.

Course was in beautiful shape, bought an outfit and got it on sale. Look forward to golfing there again soon.

The grounds were maintained very well and the staff was helpful. Tee boxes were large clean and level and the gr8÷nd were teriffic. The water hazards keopted you focused on your shot. Overall it is a great place to spend golfing.

In very good shape. nice layout especially on the Legacy. Couple dumb holes but other than that very nice

Amazing staff! The food was excellent!

Courses are both fun, and definitely different. Pro shop could be more welcoming.

Beautiful course. Only bad thing I could say is that the gun range near by is a little distracting. Other then that I will play again.

Attended a bridal shower there. Very nice venue. The food was good and the staff was helpful.

This place is a joke. I’ve tried to play there three times now and each time I end up leaving with a rain check because It is simply impossible to finish a normal round here. The starters don’t have a CLUE how to do their job as each time I’ve played there one person tells me to go off one side and somebody else will tell me to go off the other. The maintenance crews were running several mowers on each hole while being played this last Sunday, with absolutely zero respect for players. One of them even ran over my ball! For $59 this is unacceptable. Everything is extremely wet every time I’ve played here and the rough was over 6 inches long. The legacy course seems nice from a distance but When you get on the greens they are SO soft that they are riddled with spike marks that never fade away so putting is basically a waste of time. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PLACE.

Was a nice golf course. The greens were soft but fast. The course was well taken care of. Bob the ranger was not very polite. And ruined an otherwise good experience.

The original 18 is ok but the price reflects the upkeep. Fairways not the best but the greens are ok.

Great course in my opinion. Great price. Fun day.

Just a fantastic course..top notch facillity!

Came here for a colleague retirement party very beautiful views food was great drinks a bit pricey but nice time we loved the Elvis guy!!

Great venue for the annual Smiles For Sophie Forever foundation. What a great event.

Decent driving range

The one star is given only because the food in the restaurant was so bad. Everything else I liked including the staff.

Good course. Good prices

Offering some great winter happy hour specials.

Just like a private club. Great food.

Dont pay any attention to sweetbriar course is pretty much burned out. Nice greens thats it. Expected more.

Course was in great shape

Excellent food and service. Great outdoor area.

DIG IT Nice place they put on a great outing for our church

Great food. Mediocre service. Lovely entertainment.

Recently played in an event there. The pro shop is small, but packed full of stuff. The prices for golf are a bit high for what you get, but worth it once or twice a year. The event caterer was TERRIBLE. Steak and chicken were inedible.

Great winter time promotions on Tues, Wed and Thurs.

Legacy course is great, avoid the old course if possible

Cart paths only and greens had been punched. Could use hazard markers

Overpriced

Great course to play after work with the twilight special.

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice course.

Friendly staff and nicely manicured course.

Golf at Legacy : Im a big fan. Its a really nice course!!

Good place to golf for a casual afternoon

Great place. Relaxed pace

Fun and pretty layout. A good day.

I have never been in that place before

Very nice place to golf.

Crowded but fun courses...make sure you get a tee time...leagues galore

Great course and great food

Love

This is a fun spot for sure!

Fun and exciting place to play
